Best Places to See in BC - Tumbler Ridge

One of the most interesting places to visit in British Columbia

is Tumbler Ridge.

Today Tumbler Ridge is best known for its coal mining

endeavors,however, it also has a rich history of dinosaurs

and ancient peoples.

The largest concentration of accessible dinosaur footprints 

in British Columbia is here at Cabin Pool.

In 2003 the Peace Region Palaeontology 

Research Centre was established to further 

study the areas rich finds of various

dinosaur bones in beds and some of the

oldest dinosaur bones in Canada.

Unfortunately the day I was there the Dinosaur

Museum was inexplicably closed, but I did

get to see some pretty amazing dinosaur prints

on display in front of the building.

As you drive through this area you can well imagine the

dinosaurs slowly wandering through the softly rolling hills

and plateaus leaving traces of their lives behind as they made their

way to water to drink. I did look up at the skies a few times

to see if I could spot anything large and unexplained

flying overhead. Perhaps it was only my imagination,

but this area feels like it reaches into the past right 

before you eyes. Centuries are perhaps a few

mere days past.
